8FCL (Feedback Channel Locating) lamp

(Channels 1 to 9/10)

This lamp is used during setup to identify any channel

that might be howling. Check these lamps when setting

up for a performance. If the lamp lights up, adjust the

channel’s equalizer 9 or channel fader H to reduce

the level so that the lamp goes off.

Input of a continuous sound (as from a CD player or

vocal) may cause the lamp to come on even in the

absence of howling.

9Equalizer (HIGH, MID, and LOW)

This three-band equalizer adjusts the channel’s high,

mid, and low frequency bands. Setting the knob to the

“” position produces a ﬂat frequency response for the

corresponding frequency band. Turning the knob to the

right boosts the corresponding frequency band, while

turning to the left attenuates the band.

On channels 1 to 6, the MID range is controlled by two

knobs. The upper knob sets the center frequency for

the mid range, while the lower knob sets the attenua-

tion (counterclockwise) or boost (clockwise) for the

range. (Again, setting the lower knob to “ ” produces

a ﬂat response.) On stereo channel pairs 7/8 to 13/14

the mid-range frequency is ﬁxed at 2.5kHz, so only

one MID knob is provided.

The following table shows the equalization type, the

base frequency, and the maximum cut/boost for each

of the three bands.

0AUX Controls

• AUX1 (PRE)

This knob adjusts the channel’s signal level into the

AUX1 bus. The knob should generally be set close to

the “ ” position. On stereo channels, the L (odd) and

R (even) input signals are mixed before moving into

the AUX bus.

The channel faders do not operate on signals sent to

the AUX1 bus.

• AUX2 (PRE/POST)

This knob adjusts the channel’s signal level into the

AUX2 bus. The knob should generally be set close to

the “ ” position. Note that you can use the PRE

switch A to choose whether to feed the pre-fader or

post-fader signal into the AUX2 bus. On stereo chan-

nels, the L (odd) and R (even) input signals are mixed

before moving into the AUX2 bus.

If the PRE switch is on, the channel’s fader will not

have any effect on the signal into the AUX2 bus.

APRE Switch

Selects whether the pre-fader or the post-fader signal is

fed to the AUX2 bus. If the switch is on, the mixer

feeds the pre-fader signal to the bus. If off, the mixer

feeds the post-fader signal.

BEFFECT Knob

Adjusts the level of the signal sent from the channel to

the EFFECT bus. If input is from a stereo channel pair

(7/8, 9/10, 11/12, or 13/14), the signals from the L and

R channels are mixed before moving into the bus. The

EFFECT bus signal is fed both to the internal digital

effector and to the SEND EFF jack I.

The level into the EFFECT bus is affected by the set-

ting of the channel’s fader H.

CPAN Control (Channels 1 to 6); BAL Con-

trol (Channels 7/8 to 13/14)

The PAN control determines the positioning of the

channel’s signal on the Stereo L and R buses.

The BAL control sets the balance between left and

right channels. Signals into the L input (odd channel)

feed to the Stereo L bus; signals into the R input (even

channel) feed to the Stereo R bus.

If you are inputting to a stereo channel through the L

(MONO) jack only, the BAL knob operates as a PAN

knob.

DON Switch

Switches the channel on or off. (The indicator lights up

if the channel is on.) Be sure to turn on all the channels

that you wish to use. If you switch the channel off, you

cut off all of its signal feed into the Stereo, AUX, and

EFFECT buses.

To reduce noise, turn off all unused channels.

EPEAK Indicator

Detects the peak level of the post-equalizer signal, and

lights up red when the level reaches 3 dB below the

clipping level.

FSIGNAL Indicator

Lights up when a signal is being input into the channel.

GPFL (Pre-Fader Listen) Switch

Set this switch on to feed the channel’s pre-fader signal

into the PFL bus, so that it can be monitored at the

PHONES jack. To set the switch on, press it in so that

it lights up.

•PFL switching and output are not affected by the

ON switch. You can monitor the channel’s

pre-fader signal through the PHONES jack even

when the ON switch is set off.

•The PFL (G, N, d) and AFL e switches select

the mix to be monitored at the PHONES jack. If

the channel’s PFL or AFL switch is ON, the chan-

nel’s output is mixed into the monitor signal to the

PHONES jack. If both switches are OFF, the chan-

nel output is not fed to the PHONES jack.

HChannel Fader

Adjusts the signal’s output level. Use these faders to

adjust the volume balance among the various channels.

To reduce noise, set the fader sliders for unused chan-

nels all the way down.
